Firecracker is another great acoustic-pop album from Ms. Loeb. I don't know if I listen to this one as much as the last but I don't have any specific reason for that. This one spawned a single or to with "I Do" and "Let's Forget About It." Oh, I'll also mention, against my better judgement, that this is the hottest album cover ever. Don't worry, my wife knows!

Useless Fact: You'll notice they dropped that "Nine Stories" stuff on here. All albums after this are just Lisa Loeb.

It's too band that Lisa Loeb will probably be remembered by the general public as "that girl with the glasses that sang that one song." That song being "Stay" of course. I say it's too bad because the whole album is really good. Full of pleasant acoustic pop songs that are infused with the NYC coffee-house vibe. So much so that you can almost smell the coffee brewing and hear college students talk about how they know everything! Songs like "Waiting for Wednesday" and "Rose-Colored Times" bop along at a decent pace and are perfect for long car rides. If you only know her for "Stay" I recommend you give her a chance.

Useless Fact: On this album Lisa had a band called Nine Stories but were never heard from after this. How much press do you think they got?
